(Generation 1.5) Latino students and the library: A case study

摘要

This study investigated pre-college (K-12) and present day library use and perceptions of research for 105 U.S.-educated first-year Latino undergraduates (generation 1.5). Data were collected through focus groups and an electronic survey. Results suggest K-12 library use and information literacy development are correlated. Research skills were underdeveloped for the sample as a whole, and correlated with students' low levels of K-12 library use.
